150 g wheat flour
150 g wholemeal flour
200 g strong white flour
9 g dried yeast
½ tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon sugar
Lukewarm water

Preparation

Combine all the ingredients except the olives, add enough lukewarm water to make a firm but pliable dough.

Knead well for at least 10 minutes.

Wrap the dough in clingfilm, place in a bowl and let it rest in a warm, but not hot, place.

When the dough has reached twice its size, place the olives in it and knead again for a few minutes.

Prepare a round 25cm baking tin by buttering the bottom and sides and sprinkling a little flour in it.

Place the dough in it and again allow it to double in size.

Bake in a pre heated oven at 220 degrees for 30 minutes or until it has turned golden brown.
